Why visit Isfahan?

Isfahan is especially known for its Safavid-era urban heritage. Naqsh-e Jahan Square forms the heart of a rich group of monuments and is an excellent starting point for understanding the city’s architecture and historic role.

Highlights to plan around

Travelers commonly build a day around Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Imam Mosque, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Ali Qapu Palace and the bazaar. Historic bridges and the Armenian quarter can be added according to time and interests.

How long to stay

Two full sightseeing days work well for many first-time visitors, while an additional day gives more time for crafts, neighborhoods and a less rushed pace.

Combine Isfahan with other cities

Isfahan fits naturally between Tehran, Yazd and Shiraz on a classic cultural route.
